Malborough is a village and civil parish in the South Hams region of Devon. The village is located on the A381 between Kingsbridge and Salcombe, and is a popular village for tourists, with many holiday homes located around the village. At the 2021 census, the parish had a population of 1,144, which was slightly more than the 971 recorded at the 2011 census.

Malborough can be seen from many miles away throughout the South Hams region, due to its magnificent church spire, which is located at the highest point of the village. The Church of All Saints dates from the 13th Century and is built from local Soar stone. The Right Honourable John Stapleton de Courcy, 28th Baron Kingsale, is interred in the churchyard, with other members of the de Courcy family.

The village is home to a small Asda supermarket and a petrol station. The village has an Anglican and a Baptist church (which runs coffee mornings), two pubs, a large village hall and playing fields with children's play equipment and an outdoor gym, a primary school, a post office, a thriving youthclub, and a football team.
